Cassation court dismisses appeal by health authority against appellate ruling awarding medical directors overtime pay for night shifts.
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Court of Cassation rejected the health authority's appeal against an appellate court decision awarding medical directors overtime compensation for night and holiday shifts. The authority argued that result-based pay should cover all hours, but the court found this incorrect because collective agreements specifically provide for overtime compensation in these scenarios. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, and the health authority was ordered to pay the opposing party's legal costs.
